Dangerous Windchills Forecast Across Georgia, Alabama, and the Southeast Monday Morning as Some Areas Fall Below Zero
GEORGIA — A surge of bitterly cold air will grip the South and Southeast late tonight into Monday morning, bringing windchills in the single digits, the 10s, and even readings below zero in some northern areas. According to the advisory, north Georgia and north Alabama may experience windchills dropping below 0°F, marking one of the coldest mornings of the season.
Subzero Windchills Expected in Parts of the Region
Forecast maps show a concentrated zone stretching from northern Alabama into northern Georgia and up toward Nashville, where windchills fall to 0°F or below.
These dangerously low values raise concerns for frostbite risks with even short outdoor exposure.
Cities near this subzero band include:
- Nashville
- Northern Alabama counties
- North Georgia counties
10s Spread Across Alabama and the Carolinas
Much of the Southeast will wake up to extremely cold windchills Monday morning.
The map highlights widespread 10s around areas such as Jackson, Montgomery, Columbia, and Charlotte, emphasizing how far south this cold air has penetrated.
Charlotte and Columbia in particular show sharply lower windchills that could challenge morning commuters and those working outdoors.
20s Expected Across the Deep South
Farther south, cities including Atlanta, Montgomery, Tampa, and parts of the central Gulf Coast remain cold but avoid the harshest subzero impacts.
These regions show windchill values mainly in the 20s, still notably cold for mid-December.
Florida remains the warmest state on the map, yet northern Florida still dips into the 30s and 40s, highlighting how far-reaching this cold front is.
